It appears that Tibetan politician Ngapoi Ngawang Jigme, whom I'd never heard, has died, two months short of 100 years old. I don't think this'll cheer up (or ruin) any death pooler's day. regards, Hein

At least she likes to do the unexpected. In a Letter to the Editor[1] of the Volskrant her grandparents express their concern about the girl and her treatment by the bureaukrautscrats at the Child Welfare Office. [1] Translation available on request regards, Hein

Can Akmal Shaikh make it to 2010? Would he count as a DL hit? regards, Hein

Chavez is obviously insane, but that doesn't mean he's wrong: Which hits the nail smack on the wide and flat side. And dead girls. regards, Hein

Well, who else's life would she attempt suicide on? <----- Thicko, point taken. Very good, thanks. At least I can spell "Jones". She might have made a suicide attempt on, say, Hitler's life. Such things were quite popular in 1944. regards, Hein

Wow! Not just pretending to be a war hero, he's pretending to be war hero who can read and write. What's next, pretending to be an Uebermensch[1]? [1] i.e. someone who, according to Nietzsche, can eat using knife and fork. regards, Hein

It seems that old fart reaped the rewards of the sin of pride. regards, Hein

Not about squids, but rather about their molluscan cousin, the octopus, here's some amusing footage of how they solve their housing problems. What quarters does our own Octopus live in? regards, Hein

I wouldn't know about slugs, but moths are vile indeed. A few years ago they invaded my wardrobe. All-out chemical warfare dispatched the enemy in a matter of hours, but my best suit looked like a city after a Luftwaffe air raid. A short headache, I presume. regards, Hein

It seems tigers like to play with their food. regards, Hein

But not so far, it seems. regards, Hein

Hey, they're catholic priests! You can't blame them for lying, it's their job. Besides, I wonder if flagellation is a punisment for those guys. regards, Hein

According to many news sources, including Bloomberg, former German Economy Minister Otto Graf Lambsdorf has died. No BBC article yet. Was he on anyone's list? regards, Hein

Ah... Deformed Rabbit, my favourite. regards, Hein

That reminds me of elections in the now defunct Soviet Union, where executives were 'elected' in polls in which only the decimals behind 99% of the electorate were significant. regards, Hein

Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood has been arrested on suspicion of assault. I don't think that'll cause him much harm, but you never know. regards, Hein
